Drake,

Only one of the rockstars listed is from Fuel (Doug). I’m not sure what led you to believe that there are two from Fuel… Sorry about the confusion, and thanks so much for the input!

Oh no, there’s no African Americans or other minorities on this list either! Quick, let’s all scramble to come up with relatively unknown interface designers to be politically correct.

Molly Holzschlag and Veerle Peters are too excellent, excellent designers, but as Alison said they’re not UI peeps. I found it interesting that not one but two of these people are from Fuel; that feels a tad biased to me. I’d like to see accurate, responsible journalism with some real research behind it. Not biased self-promotion or politically correct lists.

Keep improving Fuel, don’t let me down. :)

Check out Megs Fulton. She’s already a rockstar in my book, but I have no doubt that the rest of the world is going to know about her soon. Talented, creative, super smart and resourceful…and she’s even nice. Great combination! http://www.krop.com/megsfulton

I can say most absolutely … I would say several offhand are @jinabolton and @kriscolvin … both are leading experts in their given fields and are wonderful designers.

Great roundup & also awesome thread going on about women designers (Interface Rockstars). I will look forward to a second list and will shoot people this way in case they have any recommendations.

Funny thing is I did a list in similar nature on Web Design Ledger (http://webdesignledger.com/inspiration/10-amazing-designers-that-influence-the-community), and I too got the same comments about females, but I had it a bit easier because I am one ;) and the list was about people who influenced ME personally.

Thanks so much Alison!
You’re absolutely right. Conversation is key to this discussion!
We promise your comments will be heard. Kelly Goto also is the CEO of gotomedia, where her team of associates have worked with people such as the developers of the MP3 format. Talk about usability! That’s definitely Rockstar status, folks!
Thank you all for your input! Let’s keep the discussion rolling.

Okay, so I posted to a women in tech list that I’m on, and received the following suggestions:

* @sandraclarktw: Sandra Clark: She’s a whiz when it comes to CSS and I’ve heard her speak at CFUnited. She’s moving on to AboutWeb.
* @schachin: She’s into SEO and site architecture
* I’d have added Veerle Pieters and Molly Holzschlag. Both are incredibly talented and even have shirts in their name – http://www.happywebbies.com/ :)

BUT: I’m thinking these ladies are not all focused on *Interface* (even if they are rockin’). In fact, based on the description, I’d have picked Kelly Goto from HappyWebbies….

So, challenging the ladies – please help with the list by providing names. Jonathan is encouraging conversation. If you want to get your name out there (or the name of someone you think is a rockstar), you’ve got to start monitoring these lists and commenting. Drop a name, make a suggestion where to find names. Be proactive in solving the problem, so that the problem has a shot of going away.

Ali,
There actually are 2 women on the Rockstar list at Filament Group (Patty Toland and Maggie Costello Wachs). The truth of the matter is that there are simply more men in the field than women, so it was more likely that we found men because of the natural odds.

We definitely aren’t looking to “ghettoize” women. In fact, we want just the opposite! It is very important to recognize the work that women are doing in this field that is mostly occupied by men. It is challenging to be the minority of any group or field, and those who stand up to that challenge successfully should be recognized, not ghettoized.

Thank you for your input!

So you plan to ghettoize the women because you couldn’t think of any when posing the question: who are the rockstar designers?

And the women get sent to a separate list where most likely, they won’t get the play your original list gets.

Thanks for doing what every conf organizer and list maker in tech already does. You’re so thinking along the norms.
